Cherry tomatoes in the summer have a magical pull. One minute you’re strolling through the farmers market; the next you’re walking around balancing six precious pints of colorful little orbs. They are sweet, juicy flavor bombs that don't need a lot of work to stand out in a recipe. Simply blistering them in a pan with a little garlic and salt makes them jammy in no time. In just a few minutes they’re ready to be slathered over tangy yogurt or labneh, topped with fresh chives and oily anchovies for a punch of umami. Big toasts make great dinner, and we know it. —Rachel Gurjar
